Tip of the Day and a 5K

Do not dry-shave your armpits and then get on the elliptical trainer. O.U.C.H. I mean, seriously, how old am I? When will I know better?

ONE MORE TIP:

If you write a blog entry with the word ‘vagina’ in it like I did yesterday, know that you’ll have some explaining to do if your son happens to see it. I’m just saying.

THE GOOD 5K NEWS:

Today, I’m signing up for the Frederick Running Festival’s Twilight 5k again, like I did last year. (It was such a GREAT experience!) My goal is run the three miles in 25 minutes AND to make sure my iPod is fully charged this time. Duh. Last year, my goal was 40 minutes and I ended up finishing in . . .

. . . 29.21 with a lot of help from adrenalin and my competitive nature. (That’s me in the green.)

Anyway, the reason I’m signing up earlier is because I’m completely frugal. If I prepay $25.00 than I will train hard so that money is not wasted. (Talk about a great motivator.) So if you’re from my area, check it out! It’s a ton of fun and a great way to get in shape.

Hello and welcome! I’m a writer, runner, reader, Disney lover, journal addict, Joyful Miles founder, wife of a great guy for 28 years, and mom of two awesome boys. I’m also 50. Fabulous, liberating things happen when you turn 50.

Here’s where I chat about writing, books, planners, and journaling. To follow my running and runDisney adventures, head on over to Joyful Miles. If it confusing having two blogs? A wee bit. But I’m figuring things out as I go along.
